Many consider 13 to be an unlucky number. A lot of elevators, especially in America, don't have a 13th floor and skip right over to 14. It doesn't mean that you're missing a floor, because technically the 14th is the 13th, just not called the 13th because 13th is unlucky (does "Friday the 13th" ring a bell?)

Is there a 13th floor in the Mayo Clinic?
I believe the Mayo building and the Gonda have ten floors. I went to Physical Therapy school at Mayo in the '80's. I can't remember for sure how many floors the Mayo Clinic has but it is at least 15 or 16. When you get in the elevator there is not a button for the 13th floor. We were told that was where maintenance was and other mechanical stuff. There supposedly was a top floor that you could not access with the public elevator either. That floor was supposedly a suite for dignitaries that were staying at Mayo for treatment.
